10-02-2005, 05:23 PM

He improved from the first 2 games. He did not regress in this game. ****ING *****

Maybe he didn't regress, but he isn't getting better. Sure, he threw balls out of bounds instead of taking sacks. Sure he had a few more yards.

But he makes the same mistakes over and over again and then adds new ones. Running into sacks on the 3rd to last series. Fumbling on the second to last series (I know... it was the refs fault). The two throws underneath to Davis on the last drive with no timeouts left.

If anyone on this board thinks that the guy in any way resembles a franchise quality QB (i.e. Manning, Brady, Palmer, etc.) they are highly delusional. He is a below average backup at this point.

10-02-2005, 05:34 PM

The problem is that there shouldn't have been a dumpoff reciever on those plays. He should have either been blocking or running a streak down the field. It was a bad play call to have anyone there as a dump off reciever. Yes Carr shouldn't have thrown it to him, but he also shouldn't have even been there to have it thrown to him.

Sharpe's comment was an ignorant statement made to entertain people rather than provide insight. I haven't been able to see the first two games of the season, but I thought Carr did well with the ball when he wasn't having to run for his life because of a faulty line. A quarterback can't be too successful trying to throw while on his back... :texflag:

Sharpe's comment was incredibly stupid, but not surprising. I could hardly understand half the gibberish coming out of his mouth while he was trying to narrate the highlights at halftime. He was a great player, but is atrocious as a commentator.

I was quite down on Carr after the first two games, but he showed me a lot today. Obviously the team needs a lot of help, but if Carr continues to play like he did today, I think there's still hope for him. I'd very much like for him to do well, because the team has so much invested in him and I'd hate to have to use another high #1 pick on a QB. I'd like to see what Carr can do behind a solid O-Line and a legitimate #2 receiver.

I know-I know this is beating a dead horse, but damn, get a clue. Did any of you see how much time Palmer had in his pocket to get a pass off??? Both Mannings could have pitched a tent in their pockets. If we don't get Carr some pass protection he will never be worth a hoot. One time he had several seconds standing in the pocket, he connected. I told my wife, see if they give him time to throw, he can do it!

Just so you know... Joe Montana was a great QB. John Elway was a great QB. Brett Favre is/was a great QB. Peyton Manning is a great QB.

David Carr has a long, long way to go before he is known as great. And right now he is a lot closer to the other end of the spectrum (as in terrible).

Wow what a great passer Rating you think we would of won one of those games may be he could of led us to victory realise that rating come from weak Check down passes like i said before David could be the worst statistical QB in as long as he leads a team to victory or doesnt cost the team a Game ill be happy but he cant do either. :texflag:

Actually, it's not. But I can understand how it might be for you.

Did you see Jabar Gaffney's play today? I'm betting you did. But I also bet you didn't recognize it as a positive.

Did you see Chad Johnson's performance? I'm betting you did. But I also bet you didn't correlate his lack of production with a solid performance from the secondary.

The Bengals had been averaging almost 30 points per game. They scored just over half that today. But that's not a positive because they played their worst game of the season (and the Texans had nothing to do with that).

Did you see the pressure that was being put on Palmer today? 'Course not...you only saw that the Texans registered 2 sacks. Every other pass attempt Palmer was watching the grass grow while his WRs were running amok.

Guy has a QB rating close to 100 the last two games and that is still not good enough! Why can't you people understand this is the way Pendry and Capers want Carr to play? I guarantee you if before the game you offer 170 yds, 1td and no interceptions they would have taken it! Could it maybe be that this is all that is available? What do you want him to do if the recivers are covered? Our ofense is a product of the system, not the QB. Until we get a decent line, we wont be able to light up the sky like Indy and Philly because we do not have the talent on the O-line, simple as that. Carr led the team, he is our leader (see 3rd and 10 right before the "fumble") and if not for getting robbed by the refs, I believe he would have lead us downfield for a field goal or a game winning touchdown.

And the 3-4 sacks that was HIS fault..... and the 2 yard passes not ONCE but twice with under a minute to play and NO timeouts......hell lets give Kar a raise!
Explain the three or four sacks that were his fault.
If nobody is open you dont throw the ball. Its that simple. If he throws the ball deep on one of those two plays and it gets intercepted game over. Also with the whole defense playing deep DD would have only had to break one tackle the next closest defender would have been twenty to thirty yards down the field. There is just as good of a chance of DD breaking one of those for a TD as their is throwing a hail mary.

The Texans have a game changing receiver in AJ and for whatever reason he's been virtually ignored in most of the games this year. They MUST figure out some way to get him the ball more often.

utahmark

10-02-2005, 09:49 PM

It's not HIS fault......even though he plays QB...... if AJ needs the ball.....have AJ take the snap...... because appearently Kar doesn't understand that he needs the ball!

aj would of had the ball about 5 more time this season if he would catch the ball when it was thrown to him. but apparantly it cant be aj's fault. carr must be putting the wrong spin on it.

They should have fell on the ball for me...... don't blame ME for getting sacked 7 times, its not MY faulty I held the ball too long..... blame the O-line for not giving me 10 seconds of protection...... and the receivers..... I can't run their routes for them......questionable decision making at the end of the game..... the OC called that play......not ME...... hey...... don't look at me...... I played great..... they need to put people around ME thats as good as ME!" :ok: DK
I dont think we have the best QB in football Im just smart enough to realize its not all his fault that we keep loosing

Ok let me make my point a bit more clear.

Teams usually are limited to just a few playmakers. Guys that can change the game at any time on any play.

I consider AJ to be that player on the Texans.

However and whatever they need to do to get the ball in his hands they must do. He's the one guy that defenses have to worry about on offense. If he can't do what he's done in the past put Armstrong out there.

The focus of the Texans offense, to me, seems to always be DD.
Shut him down and they seem to flounder.

You know...... you let us score, we let you score, you let us score, etc....... and then everybody is happy at the end of the day.
Seriously explain how its Carr's fault that andre cant catch the ball come on do you have an awnser for that one.
He has hit his target in the chest more than once this season and his WR didnt make the catch.
How can you say the majority of the sacks are Carrs fault when the very second the ball is snapped the defense is already on his *****.
And even though Carr is sitting on the bench its his fault that the defense has forced ZERO turovers this season while only getting four sacks.

Love the sarcasm jayseed, but it's getting old. So, we get rid of Carr - who would you put in his place that would do better with the offensive unit we currently have?

Agree they need to get AJ the ball more and from this game, I thought for sure they were setting up the long ball with they way they were calling the plays today, moving the ball down the field a bit at a time. However, as long as they're moving the ball to the eventual score, that's fine by me.

A starting QB........HIS offense has put up 24 points in 3 COMPLETE games......now THATS a RESUME! What MORE can you want (or expect) out of the #1 pick in the draft, with 3+ years of STARTING experience?
In the first game he gave up three interceptions and Zero since then while throwing two TD's

He had a bad rating in the first game and has done good since then.

I forgot that the QB is the only player on the team and every win or loss is because of the QB. Why do we play the games we should just decide that the team with the better QB wins.

I'll call it like I see it. DD can't pick up his blocks, Carr needs to go back to Cali, our inside linebackers are scared to lay some wood, Seth Payne and his two old friends are never in the backfield. And lets see, Capers.

Dude dont bullcrap me bro, dont treat this guy like he is the starting QB for Steelers, Eagles, Patriots, Colts. He did not walk into a great team that has been building themselves for over 50 years. He is on a team that has been around for 4 years now. He has 1 weapon right now and that is Andre Johnson. There is no 2nd WR on this team, NO stud lineman, NO Defense.
Weather we like it or not the honey moon is not over untill we get some players in here, to help out the leagues leading QB in Sacks for the last 3 years.

He is doing great with what he has been givin'.

About AJ: the Ds are making sure he is very covered. They will continue to do that untill another receiver (or TE) makes them eat that philosophy. I think Gaffney is our man. Until then, Carr would be asking for interceptions trying to throw to him. Besides, he drops what is thrown to him right now. He needs to work on those hands again. Can we have Armstrong's hands attached to AJ?
